Prince William + Duchess Catherine: New Christmas card shows a small rarity
In contrast to Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, Prince William, 39, and Duchess Catherine, 39, are more reluctant to express their love in public. You rarely see the couple holding hands, a kiss in front of a number of onlookers – unthinkable.
Kate and William now make a small exception on their Christmas card. During the photo shoot in Jordan, the two tenderly put their hands on each other’s knee. A small romantic gesture that makes the hearts of numerous Royal fans beat faster and that we have hardly seen in official photos of the couple so far. The only exception: your wedding photos in 2011. It seems as if the two of them are still on cloud nine even after ten years of marriage.

Prince Harry taunts Queen Elizabeth
When Prince Harry, 37, stepped down from royal duties last year, Queen Elizabeth, 95, stripped him of both patronage and honorary degrees. During his Oprah interview with Duchess Meghan, 40, in March, the Duke said he was “injured” that his grandmother had stripped him of this title. Nevertheless, he stressed that he “respected” her decision.
Now the 37-year-old steps in again. In an emotional letter to the family of the late soldier Nathan Hunt, who are fighting to have their son’s name listed on the National Armed Forces Memorial, Harry writes: “I have a very good feeling for what your family is going through and I wish I could officially help her if I were in the same role I once was. ” A subtle swipe at his grandmother, who is responsible for the fact that he was deprived of this role.
Prince Harry served alongside Nathan Hunt in Afghanistan in 2008. Ten years later, Hunt committed suicide after long suffering from severe mental health problems believed to be related to his military service. A fate that affects Prince Harry hard.
Princess Anne trumps her family members
The members of the British royal family complete a number of appointments every year – and in 2021 Princess Anne, 71, won the race for the title of “Hardest Working Royal of the Year”. The 71-year-old attended 368 official appointments this year, outperforming her older brother, Prince Charles, 73, who took part in 360 events.
It is no secret that Princess Anne is characterized above all by her hard work and discipline. Many Brits admire her tireless commitment to people and animals, in 2017 the daughter of Queen Elizabeth, 95, mastered 455 mandatory dates in Great Britain and 85 appearances abroad alone.
